And how many times, and how long do you take per day to finish it?

As for me:
1. Core 2k/6k (Nukemarine's)
2. Tae Kim Clozed Deletion (MCDs)
3. Japanese Onomatopeia
4. Lazy Kanji (RTK)
5. Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (subs2srs)

I have a number of decks but I consider my vocabulary deck to be the main one. I've never used Core and made all 25K+ cards myself, but that's largely thanks to Rikaisama and some J-J dictionaries so it literally takes one button press to make a new card. I typically take just over half an hour each day to do my reviews and my vocabulary deck stats look like this. I feel it's worth the time it takes up each day as it's really not all that much.

I also have separate decks for collocations, proper names, N1 test questions, grammar, English vocabulary, and various others, but all together they take less than 10 minutes a day to get through.

I had an accident* just as the tadoku challenge begun, but my decks now look like:

1. RTK Lite (completed) and some grade 6 Kanji I found were missing...
2. Sentences:
2a. Core sentences
2b. JSPfEC
2c. JtMW
3. "Vocab" -- Rikasama/dictionary import single vocab deck
4. Subs2srs -- Hunter x Hunter 1.

Only just made my subs2srs deck yesterday and found it rather easy. I also have a "My Boss My Hero" ep 2 deck, which I need to add later. Sadly, the MBMH subs were image based subs

It takes between 20-40 minutes to complete my collections; I often do a 'custom study' on a single deck's forgotten cards. Typically I will complete the RTK deck on the way to work (or the way back) and leave the rest for the evening.

*My Core decks were deleted ~3500 cards gone

Before deleting my deck about a year ago, I had:

~1000 sentences mined from the Genki books + some extra example sentences from dictioanries
~4000 sentences from media such as books, games, etc.
~1000 sentences from Death Note (subs2srs)

I'm considering picking up the last 4000 of the core10k sentences, just to mitigate the damage done by taking a break from Japanese (which actually sort-of started even before I deleted my Anki deck) ...but it seems like it is only available in decks containing all 10k words....

After giving up a 10,000+ word vocab deck after leaving it for too long, I started a new one a couple of months ago, and just have words I encounter or can't remember how to say in conversation.

My current stats are 59/70 days studied at about 19 minutes/day. 832 seen cards so far. The format is Front -> kanji, Back -> hiragana, accent, audio, English, example sentences.

I'm not sure if the format is optimal, but Ruby makes the cards for me, so I figure the time saved outweighs any disadvantages. I wouldn't bother at all if I had to make them manually.

1) Core 0-10k cloze
2) Death Note substosrs
3) Custom kanji deck
4) Custom Zelda: Ocarina of Time deck that I haven't used for a while due to it's lack of pictures and sound (literally made it from a table online that someone had made by extracting the text out of both Japanese and English Zelda: OoT).

I really want to create a custom sentence deck from words I come across but... I haven't put the effort in. I might do that after my birthday, when I hope to get loads of manga. The main problem I have with my custom decks is a lack of sound. I need sound. I think there's that Rhino-something website for finding people to read it out, but with my Zelda one, I think the person would just die from over-working their tongue.

Time per day... about 1 hour 30, maybe? Perhaps 50 mins core 10k, 20 mins kanji, 20 mins Death Note, usually skip Zelda, as mentioned above. I do 50 new core cards (a recent beefing-up, so the review flood hasn't hit me fully yet), 10 or so new kanji cards, 7 or so Death Note cards.

Lets see...mine are:

1. Akumu-Chan subs2srs; 2640 cards (1452 unseen)
2. Grammar Mash-Up; 3482 cards (653 unseen)
3. Sentence/MCD deck; currently 1390 cards, but this is the one I add the new random ones to (unseen 33)
5. Ryûnogotoku Gackt subs2srs; 562 cards (no unseen left)
6. Kanji is entirely at Reviewing the Kanji, currently slowly working on RTK3

I used to have Nukemarine's recommended version of Core, but I found it too boring. Maybe I'll start it again after I'm out of new cards Currently my goal is to get through the Grammar deck during this summer and maybe a bit by bit move to J-J territory.

Actually I have to confess, I've tried several decks at Anki (lot more actually), but these are the only one's I've had enough interest to keep working on. My Grammar deck is a combination of Tae Kim's Guide to Grammar, ADoBJG, Nihongo so Matome, ADoIJG and who knows what grammar-decks.

I think that's the core I have. I was going through a more regular flashcard one before, but I like that this one comes with lots of example sentences (which often are amusing or disgusting, to my surprise - see one of the middle-bottom entries for tokidoki, regarding a person called Kim And there's fun voice-acting - see hontouni) and that it contains all 0-10k. I feel like I am progressing faster with this one and I actually find it enjoyable.

What I do not like doing, however, are grammar decks. I downloaded the Tae Kim cloze and then deleted it immediately. I don't think memorizing grammar makes much sense to me. Grammar to me is more of an understanding and practising thing. My main aim is to create a custom deck and get at least pictures if not sound. Now I have finished my 29 (yes, 29) exams I can actually do stuff like that.

Also, I feel that J-J is very far away for me, and I'm barely thinking about it. The only time I do is when I see a Doraemon dictionary online and wish I could use study tools that cute!
